Dan Szonell

Dan is a Dayton native, born here and a resident most of his life.  He said his interest in treasure hunting is that he’ll “dig anything” but has not been active in the hobby the past few years.

Dan reports his best find as being the first to ever detect the Phillips Aquatic Club many years ago with his White’s Coinmaster 2 detector.  He said even though he was a complete novice, he found pockets full of coins and quite a bit of jewelry.
 
Dan recalled that back in the 1970s he was a member of the Trove Hunters, Prospectors Club International, and a few others.  He heard about the Diggers from the Riverside Historical Society.
